    When I went to the beginning of the month, due to the suspension of some programs and light shows, I have not seen it. It is a pity that Datong is a city where food, history and modern civilization coexist. I will definitely revisit it again if I have the opportunity.

    The ancient city of Zhangzhou is located in Shanxi Province, and it is a particularly well-preserved ancient city. The ancient city of Zhangzhou not only has beautiful scenery, but also a heavy history, and a simple folk customs. It is very close to Wutai Mountain, a national scenic spot of 5A. There are a lot of food in the ancient city of Zhangzhou, the price is fair, it is recommended, and I will go to play next time!

    Taiyuan Ancient County was built on the site of the ancient city of Jinyang. Jinyang City was built in the middle and late spring and autumn. It has been a major place in Beijing and Shanghai under 15 emperors from Qin and Han to the fifth and ten generations. It is known as the "Land of Longxing". Taiyuan Ancient County is a typical northern city pattern. The periphery is surrounded by a 3732-meter-long city wall, with a moat. There are multiple gate buildings, enemy buildings, corner buildings, etc. on the city wall. Recommended punching points: ✅ Jinyang Ancient City Archaeological Museum: The 101st museum in Taiyuan City, newly opened in 2024, introduced the history of urban development in Taiyuan for 2,500 years. It is a museum worth visiting. ✅ "Manjianghong" film and television base: the film "Manjianghong" film location, the venue maintenance is general, but the film scene is intact, the display and props in many rooms have basically not changed, very suitable for travel shooting. The light source is limited at night, it is not recommended to visit. ✅ Fengcheng Cross Street: Free The main street of Taiyuan Ancient County, with the city building as the midpoint, extends in four directions to the southeast and northwest, bringing together catering, cultural and creative shops and major attractions.

    Situ Town: A thousand-year-old Shanxi folk feast booked the itinerary of Situ Town on Trip.com . I originally just had the mentality of walking around and watching flowers. I didn’t expect to have an immersive experience that exceeded expectations. This small town hidden in Jincheng, Shanxi. Like a three-dimensional folk encyclopedia, people can't help but read it carefully. Step into the town, blue bricks and gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, the simple building instantly pulls the time back to thousands of years ago. On both sides of the street, blacksmith shops, dyeing workshops, wine shops and other traditional workshops are full of craftsmen, and the figure of craftsmen is intertwined with ancient craftsmanship, exuding a strong fireworks. Here, you can not only watch the production process, but also experience it yourself. I tried to print it, when the ancient text and patterns are clearly presented on the paper, the wonderful feeling of dialogue with history comes into play. The soul of the town is hidden in a wonderful performance. The must-see "See Old Shanxi" broke the boundaries of the traditional stage. The audience travels through different scenes with the plot, and experience the magnificent history of Shanxi in a 360 degree immersive manner. The hardships of the west exit, the legend of Jin merchants, the actors have a very infectious performance, with shocking sound and photoelectric special effects, people seem to be in it, for the tenacity and wisdom of Shanxi ancestors tears. Another "millennium iron soul" is also a case of the absolute, national-level non-legacy "Iron Flower" blooming in the night sky, 1600 ℃ iron water hit into a star shower, such as the golden dragon dance, meteor fall, fire tree silver flower magnificent picture, bring direct impact on the visual impact of the soul. Food is also a highlight of Situ Town. From the familiar Shanxi knife noodles, Pingyao beef, to the niche Yangcheng roast liver, Gaoping ten bowls, the street food stalls and restaurants, each mouthful is full of Shanxi flavor. I sat in the antique restaurant, tasted the smooth noodles of the glutinous, pouring a strong brine, and then a mellow old vinegar, the taste buds were instantly awakened, making people call. The fly in the ointment is that there are many tourists in the holiday town, and some popular performances and food stalls need to wait in line, which to a certain extent affects the experience; some small attractions are slightly less interesting, and there is more ornamental but insufficient interaction. But these small flaws can't hide the charm of Situ Town. If you are eager to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the charm of traditional culture, Situ Town is definitely worth a visit. Whether it is history lovers, food lovers, or parents who want to bring their children to experience folk customs, they can find their own fun here, it is an unforgettable travel experience!

    The old town is not big, there are only a few small attractions, but they are all worth seeing. The ancient buildings are very beautiful, there are few people, the experience is very good, you can finish the tour in an hour, and it is not commercialized.

    On the evening of October 4, 25, there were so many people on Liuxiang Bell Tower Street. It is worthy of being a must-see place in Taiyuan. Many foreign tourists come to Taiyuan to play during the National Day. I am a local and I also like to bring my children here to join in the fun during holidays, to go shopping and eat!
